Call me "paranoid," but it appears to me the federal government has a massive conflict of interest in such a proposal. Just as the baby boom generation is retiring, they realize the Social Security Retirement System is about to implode as the Ponzi scheme that it ever was. So, start getting senior citizens primed to consider their "end of life decisions" as early as, say age 60 or 65 — force them to do it, in fact. They must be "trained" to contemplate their own mortality, and so educated, will be more likely to accept the reasons government bureaucrats will give later on for withholding life-preserving medications and treatments after a certain (unspecified) age. In this way, Social Security Retirement beneficiaries can be "hustled" off the roles sooner rather than later, by "helping" them die sooner than they otherwise would. This is the cost "society" must pay to keep the retirement system financially strong.

If you are paranoid, then so am I because I very strongly agree that this provision is not only about encouraging people to die soon to keep universal healthcare affordable, but also to avoid the financial crisis of society security which will occur as the baby boomer generation retires.

I predict a strong backlash against the Democrats when the baby boomers finally wake up to this.

Thank you so much for sharing your insights, dearest sister in Christ!

Bears constant drumbeat repeating.

Thank you, Alamo-Girl!
